PLAYOFF SERIES

Best of three: Game 1, 11 a.m. Saturday at Medina Valley; Game 2, Saturday either 30 minutes after Game 1 if Calhoun doesn't qualify for finals in the 1,600-meter relay at Region IV-4A meet or 7 p.m. if it does qualify for finals; Game 3, if necessary, 7 p.m. Monday, Port Lavaca

Brittany Dworaczyk and Darian Sanchez try to put their team first before themselves.

As seniors on Calhoun's softball team, they defend the left side of the infield - Dworaczyk plays third base, while Sanchez plays shortstop - something they've done together since freshman year. They are the leaders on the team, said coach Daniel Castillo.

Calhoun (13-12) opens the playoffs this weekend against District 29-4A champion Medina Valley (24-7). When this season concludes, they will go separate ways.

"We've grown up a lot since our freshmen year, playing wise," said Dworaczyk, 17.

Before playing at Calhoun, Dworaczyk and Sanchez played on the same team in little league softball. Sanchez will play this fall at McLennan Community College in Waco, while Dworaczyk will play at Galveston College.
